Blower supercharger.

Supercharger
What engine are you considering using? BBC? SBC? Stock? Forged? Balanced? 4-bolt mains? Racing? Picking up chicks? I can make a better-than-amateur recommendation if I knew more about your intentions. Either way, it sounds like fun.

You sound like you have a job. I run a roots style 6-71 on an early small block. I'm sure there are others who can advise you about blowing your LS. I have one from Gene Mooneyham and another 6-71 from BDS. If you were in my vintage ride shop I'd call someone like Whipple or Magnuson and avoid the roots style and go with a screw type. They're smaller, lighter and they certainly make kits for your application.
However, if you want to garner the greatest shock effect; the roots unit will require a hole in the hood and you'll likely have the unit visible from your windshield from the top pulley up. The setup has gotten a lot of attention for my modest rig.

Another tip: google some of the past issues of Hot Rod magazine for the modification you want to make. I think I recall seeing a feature or two on the supercharged LS motor. Although you can close the hood on a screw type compressor, you'll still have the characteristic whine from the belt pulleys. That should make an effective statement.
